Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

Employment by a school; the Federal Employment Agency must approve the visa, and the teacher may not be employed on less favourable terms than German counterparts (benchmark: local pay for teachers at embassy schools).

    If you are to be employed to teach your native language in schools, the Federal Employment Agency (BA) must approve the issuance of the visa. Foreign teachers may not be employed under less favourable working conditions than their German counterparts. The local pay conditions for teachers at embassy schools are to be used as a benchmark.

What are the few decisive professional characteristics of the pathway: occupation, qualifications, experience, salary, skill level, shortage status, labour-market condition or equivalent?

Decisive: teaching one's native language; the qualification may need recognition by the education authority of the relevant federal state.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the work allowed, any tie to employer or sector and family accompaniment.

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

Residence permit for up to five years; renewed employment as a native-language teacher is possible only after a three-year break. The official source does not state a longer-term residence direction.
